Should President Trump end 'chain migration?'

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) - A judge has declared a mistrial after the jury could not reach a verdict in the trial of a Worcester man charged with fatally stabbing another man in a dispute over drugs.

The Telegram & Gazette (https://bit.ly/1Dxkbcp ) reports that Worcester Superior Court Judge Janet Kenton-Walker declared a mistrial Tuesday in the case against Dennis Jones after the jury foreman sent a note into the courtroom saying the jurors were hopelessly deadlocked.

Prosecutors say Jones stabbed James Notice in the chest during a fight in a Franklin Street apartment building in August 2004 after Notice accused the defendant of selling him bogus cocaine. Notice died two days later.

Defense lawyers pointed to Notice’s girlfriend as a possible suspect, an allegation she denied.
